I started the day feeling oddly anxious and had a disturbing dream, but things turned around by evening. After a productive afternoon recording an MCP demo and helping Hamer learn how to send a video on her own, the real highlight was paddling on the Liangma River with Xiaoyan. Drifting on the calm, dark water beneath city lights and a soft breeze was pure peace—two hours of simple joy that erased all the day’s stress.
